Lil Nas X can now add author to his list of accomplishments.

On Tuesday, the 21-year-old rapper released his first children's book, "C is for Country," which takes readers on a journey through their ABCs, complete with colorful illustrations by Theodore Taylor III.

To promote the book, the "Old Town Road" crooner jokingly pleaded on Twitter, "MY CHILDREN’S BOOK 'C IS FOR COUNTRY' IS OUT NOW!!!! GO GET IT PLEASE I REALLY NEED TO PAY MY RENT!"

Turns out that Lil Nas X's request didn't fall on deaf ears, because he later shared that the book was already charting.

"I really just got best fans in the world," he tweeted. "So thankful."

"C is for Country," which is recommended for ages 3 to 7 and published by Random House Kids -- a division of Penguin Random House -- is available for purchase now and promises to take readers on "a joyous journey through the alphabet from sunup to sundown."
